Energy performance of 5G backhaul wireless network utilizing hybrid centric-distributed architecture

Abstract

<p>This paper scrutinizes the influence of deployment scenarios on the energy performance of fifth-generation (5G) network at various backhaul wireless frequency bands. An innovative network architecture, the hybrid centric-distributed, is employed and its energy efficiency (EE) model is analyzed. The obtained results confirm that the EE of the 5G network increases with an increasing number of small cells and degrades with an increasing frequency of wireless backhaul and radius of small cells regardless of the network architectures. Moreover, the hybrid centric-distributed architecture augments the EE when compared with the distributed architecture.</p>

A study of routing-based distributed mobility management in supporting seamless data transmission in smart cities

“…CMAs such as the home agent (HA) in mobile IPv6 [6], [7] and local mobility anchor (LMA) in proxy mobile IPv6 [8], [9] provide centralized anchoring for both the control plane and data plane in hierarchical network architectures such as the foreign agent (FA) and mobile access gateway (MAG). The CMM approaches can be manageably efficient as all of the network controls are anchored into a single entity (i.e., the CMA, such as HA or LMA), but some considerations can impede the efficiency of handovers and mobility of MNs in the heterogeneous wireless network.…”

“…The data plane, on the other hand, is distributed and managed by the corresponding gateways. The ARs at the edge of the wireless network are handling the data forwarding [8]. The partially-distributed DMM model is depicted in Figure 4.…”
